Have you considered serving on a committee? ALISE committees power the association and drive us towards fulfilling our mission. Volunteering also provides a number of benefits:
 
 
  1. Develop new skills
  2. Meet new people 
  3. Connect with your community
  4. Advance the profession
  5. Give back to the profession
  6. Be a part of something bigger
In order to align with ALISE's commitment to broad representation of our membership on committees, we welcome volunteers from all areas: doctoral students, new and tenured faculty, and part-time/adjunct faculty. Whether you are new to ALISE or have been a member for a long time, your contributions and insights are welcomed.
 
Learn more about the available committees to serve on from October 2025 to October 2026.
 
To indicate your interest in serving on an ALISE committee, complete the online form by May 15, 2025.
 
The strength of ALISE relies heavily on the contributions of its members and volunteers, and I thank you in advance for your interest. Please contact our office with any questions at [email protected].
